    Sometimes “talking out loud” answers the question....but I agree...brace before siding

    Brace yourself for all of the advice you will get.

    Bracing is always a good idea up front, and naturally just plan ahead for any clerance issues. I always appreciate the stable feel of working and detailing a wall that is already braced. Since you mentioned bracing here are my undetailed Scotia walls braced for action.

    i braced the front wall and ran out of the .020 x .200 lumber i used for bracing, so i just placed an order for another 10 pieces of it (cuz i'm gonna have to brace the rear wall at some point).
    first pic is front wall bracing (and i'll probably add a few more when i get the lumber):

    second pic is to show you guys how i decided to work out the corners:
    left wall joining with front wall

    so far everything's fitting perfectly.
